This film, I’ve Loved You So Long, is the reason I go to the cinema.  A subtle but riviting performance by Kristen Scott Thomas is going to put her in the Oscar race.  At first her makeup-less face is almost frozen . . . but slowly her character evolves to another level  . . . as her story slowly is revealed.   Tightly edited so the telling of the relationship of two sisters never drags.  Gripping, mature, provocative and so smart this movie is.  [ RT ]
